Game 47 ❀ Peridot

[dramatispersonae]

[As the game starts, the ring seems to expand and the borders seem to dissolve; the blankets are further apart, now, and there are cherry blossom trees in full bloom swaying above you. Next to the baskets, four jug have appeared, labeled with a 0, a 1, a 2, and a 3. Looking at them, you somehow know what those labels mean.
0 = completely nonalcoholic fruit juice.
1 = fairly mild sake. It will take most people a while to get drunk.
2 = medium-strength sake. It won't take most people too long to get drunk.
3 = incredibly strong sake. Most people will be out before they know it.
For dragons and other nonhumans, there are appropriately sized shallow cups/bowls of the player's choice.
Though there are only those four jugs, they cannot be broken, and, if spilled or emptied, they will fill themselves again. Kiriko's voice filters through the area.]

Please, know yourselves and judge your limits. It's only a game, after all. You may start drinking at any point.

[Please note that you may judge your character's tolerance and limits however you'd prefer! Just keep in mind that you should know how much it would take to make your character falling-down-drunk or passed out, etc, and play accordingly if they end up drinking that much. If your character has any superhuman alcohol tolerance, it has been blocked for this game, but any innate or non-superhuman alcohol tolerance skills can be treated however you'd prefer to play it. If you want your character to get drunker faster than they usually would, that's fine; if you want them to keep their tolerance and be less affected, that is also fine.]

At least it's a pretty game for me to suck at!

I wonder if I can eat their shadows. They look like they taste better.

Hey, Dev!

[sort of leans over to whisper]

Do you get drunk easily?

❀ Drink Up! Tally

[dramatispersonae]

[Please use this thread to note (for my purposes, not ICly) when your character drinks a voluntary cup of alcohol (Penalty or game-necessary drinks do NOT count for this purpose) and what jug it's from!

You may consume alcohol at any point in the game, but drinks will not be counted after the third round.]

[Round Three, 2]

❀ Round One: Poetry

[dramatispersonae]

To begin with, you must each take a drink and compose, as a team, a brief piece of poetry. The poetry can be no more than ten lines, though it may be as brief as two. There is beauty in simplicity.

[Each character must drink one cup from any jug! That one necessary drink will NOT count for the Drink Up! Tally. When you've finished, ping me.]

[pours himself a cup of fruit juice]

...poetry? Does anyone remember how to write poetry?

Re: ❀ Round One: Poetry

[inquiry]

What is it?

Re: ❀ Round One: Poetry

[straydog]

You have to rhyme.

[light sake, go]

[light sake for Dev]

Somebody suggest a fun word!

Re: ❀ Round One: Poetry

[inquiry]

Crepuscular!

Re: ❀ Round One: Poetry

[straydog]

Zucchini?

❀ Round One: Poem

[dramatispersonae]

[Please reply to this with your finished poem.]

Re: ❀ Round One: Poem

[itcouldbebunnies]

There once was a crepsular zucchini
Who loved to wear cute pink bikinis.
With butterfly powers,
He watered the flowers
And never were his blossoms teeny.

❀ Round Two: Around and Around

[dramatispersonae]

Alcohol can be deceptive, can't it? For this game, please go around in a circle and confess something untrue to the teammate next to you. Everyone should get to go twice. Should you laugh at someone or be unable to think of something, though, you must take a drink from jar 2.

[Again, penalty drinks do NOT count for the Drink Up! Tally. When you've finished, ping me.]

Re: ❀ Round Two: Around and Around

[unionoftheheart]

Uh...should I start?

❀ Round Three: Confession

[dramatispersonae]

Alcohol, however, is not only a deception, it is a way of seeing the truth. One of you— or more, if you are so inclined— must take a drink of your choice, thenstand up and yell their true feelings for a member of another team loud enough to be heard by everyone.

[Ping me when you're done with your confession(s)!]
